PrintPuck Drop: 7:00PM ET - Sportsnet Ontario / Versus
Tired of having Ontario born players tear up the team they grew up cheering for right in front of your very eyes? Had enough of ex-Leafs fans playing for other teams to our detriment? Well fear no more kids because with PPP Amalgamated Heavy Industries new consumer product Lee Stempniak we're turning the tides.
That's right, we have a hockey player who grew up in a city that wasn't Toronto and he's ready to beat up on his childhood heroes guys he watched on TV. For the low price of $3.5M in 2009-2010 you can get your very own Lee Stempniak today! Don't delay, his price might drop rapidly next summer and you we wouldn't want to miss out!
"(Monday night) is definitely a restart to the season, a fresh start, a clean slate, (a chance) to forget about what's happened and get back in the lineup and contribute."- Mike Komisarek in the Toronto Star
Mike Komisarek is off the IR which has led to Wallin, Finger and Exelby being healthy scratches. Our six d-men tonight are then Kaberle, Komisarek, Beauchemin, Gunnarsson, White and Schenn. Jonas Gustavsson gets the start against Ryan Miller who comes into tonight's game ranked 1st in the league in save percentage (.933) and first in the league in goals against average (1.93). Shit.
The Sabres are still enamored with their young defender Tyler Myers, who somehow was picked 12th in a four player draft yet seems to be a good player. On Myers and Kessel:
I asked Lindy Ruff if Tyler Myers would "square off" against Phil Kessel tonight, and he thought I meant "fight." - James Mirtle
Maybe Lindy Ruff doesn't know who Phil Kessel is. This could work to our advantage. Don't forget your SPG picks, check out Die By the Blade for SBN's Sabres coverage, and go Leafs go!

Hey we have lost our last 6 against the Sabres, I think we are due for a win in Buffalo for a change.
Blake runs Miller and Lalime comes in to help us seal the win.
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E"
i see a flaw
in your plan.. that being – it doesn’t hurt when jason blake runs into you, that’s why nobody has said anything about him doing it once a game. All hope for a win tonight lies in phil kessel’s ability to make lazer precise shots through poni screens.

Good idea. Though I’m gonna have to check the NHL rulebook about throwing Pylons at people

could work..
but i doubt Orr could get a firm grasp seeing as jason wears thick layers of SPF50 to guard against sunburn from the arena lights and cameras..

Vesa should take advice from Blake. He needs to do that to prevent sunburn on his neck

Not to mention the fact
That tonight’s game is in Toronto at the ACC so being due for a win in Buffalo doesn’t help the Leafs at all at this point.

Since the lockout:
4-9-0-2 vs buffalo at the ACC (including the last 6)
5-9-2-0 vs buffalo on the road
We’re due for a win no matter where we play them.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
He isn't just staring at the the puck
He’s forcing into the goal WITH ONLY THE POWER OF HIS MIND!
Harder, better, faster, stronger because our work is never over.
I would rather see a crap game tonight (if we are resigned to inconsistency) as long as Grabbo is on fire tomorrow at the Bell Centre. I need to be able to get out with moustache in place.

I wish we had a different hometown guy to face the Sabres with. Patrick Kane anyone?
by Belligerent Burkie on Nov 30, 2009 1:37 PM EST reply actions
If he could embarass
the Sabres’s precious defensive prospect Myers like he did with our defensive prospect, hell to the yeah.

I’d never bet on the Bue & White when Buffalo roles into town, but with no Gaustad, and no Kaleta creating space, and no Rivet diving in front of shot after shot. I’m calling a buds victory tonight.
How fucking nice would it be to put the boots to both the Ber’s and the Habs on consecutive nights?? You’d have to go a long way back in time to find the last time that happened.
That crazy pineapplely, haywirey, truculant bastard pots 2 tonight!

I have a feeling we see someone get their first of the season, for some reason I think either Schenn or Komisareks scores tonight

or
Beauchemin gets two, just like Grabo predicted!
...Being surrounded by Sens and Habs fans makes me lose faith in humanity...
Both score tonight
Komi with tying goal, & Schenn with GWG.
(Of course, not without Kessel being awesome and lighting up Miller like there’s no tomorrow)

Kessel will get the hatty
One of them will be shot so fast, they’ll flow right through Miller’s body into the net.
Sweet, if there’s a hole in Miller’s chest then maybe Blake will be able to get a goal too.

Actually
isn’t that how he scored his first goal of the season? Through a hole in the goalie’s chest?

Maybe that's the problem
He’s constantly aiming for the elusive perfect armpit goal, and missing.
Maybe someone should tell him it’s ok to shoot at larger holes.
and the Mustache of Truculence (formerly Canada4Mizzou)
it’s ok to shoot at larger holes.
I thought Kaletta was suspended?

I CONTROL THE MEDIA
Tonight’s ‘Headlines’ include: The word “Truculence” and a dirty Nazem Kadri goal.
Really good looking in real life.
Nazem Kadri goals are amazing when they’re dirty.
Kadri with Kessel and Bozak will make me splurt in my pants.
Boo hoo!

That guy
is so damn annoying. Does he really have to act like every single fucking Buffalo goal is the Stanley Cup winning goal?

Rick Jennerette
is kinda awesome I think.
He’s got character when he calls the game, which is a good thing.
The fact that opposition fans don’t like the guy isn’t really a problem for him I’d imagine.
How many non-leafs fans would enjoy the work of Joe Bowen?
Either way… none of them are as great as Mike Lange in my opinion. If the Leafs had Mike Lange I would be very happy.

I fuck-ing hate the fucking shit out of Mike fucking Lange. Dumbest sayings and most annoying voice ever.
Lange is silly and entertaining, Jennerettes voice is nails on a chalk board irritating
